Redemption of the First-Born Son
Legal Tender Issued by The Bank of Israel
The first issue of Pidyon Haben coins was in 1970 (5730) and was discontinued prior to the issue of the 1971 coin.
Pidyon Haben is the redemption of a firstborn son from his special dedication to the service of G-d. The Pidyon Haben ceremony takes place on the 31st day after birth, when the firstborn son is redeemed by a Cohen (priest) for 5 Shekels of silver, originally a total weight of 96.15 grams of silver. Today, it is customary to give the Cohen 100 grams of silver or pay him the current value of 100 grams of silver.
Obverse:
Left, the Israel State Emblem. Upper right border, the mint year "5730-1970". Across the face of the coin, the face value "10 Israeli Lirot" in Hebrew. Around the lower border, the word "Israel" in Hebrew, English and Arabic.
Reverse:
A schematic representation of the two Tablets of the Law and below, in large Hebrew letters: "All the first born of your sons you shall redeem" (a quotation from Exodus 34:20). Around the lower border in Hebrew, "Pidyon Haben Coin".
